ISIS stabbing attack kills 1 injures 4 in Paris

The ISIS terrorist group has claimed responsibility for a stabbing attack in Paris that killed one person was and injured four more people.

Referring the attacker as a “soldier” of the ISIS in a statement released via the terrorist group’s Seld-style news agency, Amaq, ISIS claimed that the incident was in response to bombing of its positions in Syria and Iraq.

According to security sources, the attack happened close to the city’s main opera house in an area full of bars and restaurants.

The assailant attacked five people with a knife, killing one and injuring four more, two of whom are in critical condition.

He added that the attacker was killed by police after they arrived at the scene.

Disturbing footage purportedly filmed from the window of Hotel Louvre Marsollier on Rue Marsollier, where the attack took place, was posted by Carol Drummond on Twitter. It showed people running through the streets in a panic, as a body lays on a crosswalk in the street.
